My Mom makes the best coffee cakes.

Ever.

The rhubarb one is probably her best.

With my parents visiting – naturally we enjoyed time baking together.

As soon as we baked it – I knew I wanted to share it here with all of you.

It’s so easy to make that you can pull this off when surprised by unexpected guests or simply when you want to enjoy something sweet on a lazy afternoon.

We are talking easy – peasy, delicious and satisfying!

This recipe uses cranberries but feel free to choose any fruit you have on hand.

    Anna,
    Mom recipes are the best, and the fact that you got to make it with your Mom is even better. I live the streusel topping.

    This cake is so pretty studded with those berries!! There is nothing like cooking with mom!

  17. Leslie says

    This looks delicious! I never think about using frozen cranberries, but what a great idea! I can imagine a piece of this with my morning coffee. 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and saying “hi”!! I'll be back soon!

  18. Lauralovescakes says

    I love cakes with fruit in…this looks like it would taste amazing with a lovely cup of tea! 🙂

  19. The Café Sucré Farine says

    Looks delish and so… easy! I love that you don't have to dirty a mixer! Have fun with your mom!

  21. Jessie says

    Hi CCS, sorry for my ignorence, why this coffee cake didn't have coffee powder in it?I mean, when I studied the recipe, I didn't see coffee was used as one of the ingredients. I read once, then twice, then 3 times. I may want to try this recipe in the future, that's why I studied it very carefully!

    • Crunchy Creamy Sweet says

      Hi Jessie! Thank you for the question. The coffee cake does not contain the actual coffee. It's just a simple cake you can enjoy with your coffee. Hope that helps!

  23. Baking Serendipity says

    I love baking with my mom when she comes to visit! Enjoy your time together 🙂 PS: This coffee cake sounds delicious!

  25. Miss Apple says

    I love fruits on cakes!! they kinda pop up and give a different consistency and look! and of course, a delicious taste! This one looks awesome! 😀

  26. Clo says

    Bellissima e sicuramente buona! Da rifare subito, vista la semplicità della preparazione! Un bacio

    • Crunchy Creamy Sweet says

      Aww, grazie mille! Spero che vi piacerà tanto quanto abbiamo fatto! Abbracci!

  27. Jen says

    My grandmother always used to make the best rhubarb coffee cake! I've been searching for a recipe that reminds me of it for years but no luck. Now it's been so long I'm not sure I'd even remember if it was the same!

  28. Christy says

    You had me at that first photo of the cake! Don't we all just love our own mom's cooking, or baking?
    Mom is always best in eveything!:D

  29. Jaime says

    What a gorgeous slice of cake! I love coffee cakes too but have never tried one with fruits. Definitely saving this recipe to try out. Thanks for sharing it x

  30. Soni says

    Looks very inviting and easy and no mixer required?I'm going to try this very soon!!Love the idea of rhubarb as well 🙂

  32. Kristina says

    haha aw I love the name of this coffee cake, adorable! Sounds like a fun a visit! And I don't think I have a favorite fruit coffee cake? haha i think i'd pretty much take any kind! I've never had cranberry coffee cake so maybe this could be it 🙂 I've got a bag of frozen cranberries in my freezer (they've been sitting there since the holidays.. oops) and need to use them up! Gorgeous recipe Anna!

    • Kristina says

      Agreed! I love tart cranberries 🙂

      Just wanted to drop by again and let you know I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award 🙂 I can't get enough of all of your gorgeous recipes!

  33. The Mom Chef says

    There is nothing better than mom's coffee cake! I think it's so cool of you to share that recipe with us. Many thanks!

  34. Annie says

    I've never thought to add berries to a coffee cake- this is brilliant!! It looks delicious!

  35. Maple Lane says

    How pretty and delicious looking! I have a blog friend in Iowa with lots of rhubarb that I will share your link with.

  36. Tina says

    When it comes to fruit in cakes, I much prefer the little berries! They have a way of distributing themselves throughout the batter more so than chopped fruit. Also, the tartness of cranberries combined with that fluffy cake does make for one tasty bite. Well done!

    • Crunchy Creamy Sweet says

      I totally agree. I have a raspberry version on the list 🙂 Thank you, Tina!

  38. Rachel says

    How pretty with the berries in it. I have always loved coffee cake (something my grandmother and I used to love to share together) especially with pecans and a glaze on top.

  39. Lizzy says

    Nothing better than a classic recipe from your mom! I love this with cranberries…as I would with rhubarb or raspberries! Wonderful recipe, my friend~

  43. Zoe says

    Always nice to inherit great knowledge and recipes from mothers and grandmothers.

    Your mum's recipe is fantastic! Every mum would need this kind of nice and easy recipe for everyday mufti-tasking 😀

  46. SerenaB says

    This looks amazing! That is so special to have your mom share her recipe with all of us! I hope you where able to enjoy your visit! Have a wonderful week my friend! Xoxo

  47. Tiffany/MyCrowdedKitchen says
